Re:

I've done the red/black conversion. my issue is the lock on drivers side, it keeps slipping and wont lock door or actuate central locking, i can only lock/open the car on passenger side door. so if i just get a remote module connected to the central locking ecu i should be fine, wat ya think?

electric aerial

I just got a replacement aerial and it has 3 wires going to a relay on and 2 to the motor

I have brown, red and white, I presume brown is the ground as it has a lug on it but what do I do with red and white, is red perm live and white remote(switched) live??

cheers in advance
